WingDust Collections Sun Spots over Butter London Dosh

When Stephanie of WingDust Collections sent my order for the lovely Plum Outta Ideas, she thoughtfully slipped a mini of Sun Spots into the package. Sun Spots is a bright happy flower of a polish, it would be very grinchy of me not to share it with you. It has a holographic moss green jelly base carrying a boatload of cheerfully tropical matte glitter hexes and squares in neonesque bright colors: pink, green, yellow and blue, as well as a sprinkling of tiny iridescent hex glitters. It's like the Miami of my imagination, springing out of the Everglades, full of color play and light.As a base for Sun Spots I decided to use Butter London's Dosh, a bright asparagus green shimmer polish. The shimmers in Dosh are gold and give it a glowing semi-metallic look. The golden green is slightly lighter than the mossy green of Sun Spots, but they are in the same family and it provided a nice base to showcase the bright matte glitters in Sun Spots. I used three thin coats of Dosh over treatment and basecoat for the base manicure.If you've ever applied a glitter polish from a mini bottle, you know that there isn't much to say about application except dab, dab, dab and dab. Or, in Lizspeak, plosh and spread. Despite the tiny brush, it happily delivered the full range of glitters in good quantity and I didn't go to any special lengths to position them on the nail. Sun Spots dries naturally very quickly to a surprisingly smooth, shiny finish.Photos show two dabbed coats of Sun Spots over my base manicure of Dosh with a topcoat of Seche Vite to seal it all in.

The green base color is more holographic than my pictures show, but you can see a teeny bit of the holo flair peeking out in the last photo. The holo pigments give the base a silver speckled look that I just love, nom nom. Those large hexes are probably the biggest glitters I've ever tried and I'm still not quite sure how I feel about them but I love the hot pink against the green with the bright blue and lime accents. The yellow glitters are a bit harder to see, they get kind of swallowed by the base. Overall I'm rather fond of this little polish. It tickles me -- in a good way!
